Welcome to our world of discovery and learning!

Welcome to our daily blog! We use it to share daily updates on our classroom, reflections on our learning with children, and photographs. Extended family, friends, neighbors, educators, etc, are also encouraged to follow the blog!
One of the wonderful aspects of blogging is that it allows real-time interaction between home and school. Is your child talking about what we are doing in school? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you interested (or even an expert!) in something we are studying? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you planning an outing with your child to extend the classroom learning? Leave us a comment and invite other families along!
We also have a section call, "Learn More About..." When we write each post, we tag it with relevant topics. And so if you wanted to see what we have been doing with, for instance, science, you would click on that tag, and see all the posts about science.

Owl Environment: Extreme Makeover Edition

This morning, Owl teachers noticed that friends were bringing dress up materials into the book area, so the question was proposed: Should we move our dramatic play area closer to the book area? And with that, our entire classroom shifted!
 Everyone lent a hand in grabbing furniture and classroom materials and momentarily displacing them. Apparently it's fun to make our classroom into a huge mess (Who knew?)! After reaching consensus on how the classroom should be laid out, we painstakingly moved each piece...several times. The result, however, is a brand new, magnificently updated feng shui room. Come it check out!
A small group also visited Raji's Kindergarten today to work on some math activities. He donated to us mosaic shapes to keep in our classroom for a while so that we can see and explore different kinds of shapes and how they work together spatially. Small groups will continue to visit Kindergarten on different days so that they can experience some more concentrated math endeavors, as well as become more comfortable with the rooms and teachers.

Other Owlings:
We headed downstairs to the all-purpose room for some rainy day dance parties
Boogie-ing down!
They also have a wonderful book corner down there!
